Abstract
Access devices broadcast a first command signal, and each of luminaires transmits first information as a reply to access devices. The first information includes identification information of the luminaire and a radio field intensity of the first command signal. After receiving plural pieces of the first information, each access device transmits second information to an illumination controller. The second information includes identification information of the access device and the plural pieces of the first information. The illumination controller: determines, when determining that a predetermined luminaire has transmitted the first information to only one access device, that the predetermined luminaire and the one access device are to be paired; and determines, when determining that the predetermined luminaire has transmitted the first information to the plural access devices, that the predetermined luminaire and an access device among the plural access devices which has a highest radio field intensity are to be paired.
